The pop star, who is dropping her new album Britney Jean on Dec. 3, posted an emotional, handwritten note to fans on Friday.

"We're all so used to getting our thoughts out in 140 characters, but sometimes it's nice to take time to sit down and write something a little longer and more personal," wrote Spears, calling Britney Jean her "most personal record yet."

She continued, "I have been through a lot in the past few years and it has really inspired me to dig deeper and write songs that I think everyone can relate to....I want to show you the different sides of Britney Spears. I am a performer. I am a Mom. I am funny. I am your friend! I am Britney Jean."

She also revealed her upcoming album's cover art on Instagram. Are you into it? The Huffington Postthinks the neon script looks a little too much like Miley's Bangerz.
